Hi! First time poster here...

We are due our second baby girl in 6 weeks and still have't decided on a name!

My husband is a tree surgeon and we are very nature/outdoorsy type people. We already have a little girl called Lily and dog called Willow, so we're trying to decide on a name which suits our family. Surname is also Kirkwood.

Here are the names we like:

  • Fern/Fearn - there were lots of wildflowers/foliage at our wedding so thought this might be a nice tie to that. Also like that it's not too common.
  • Robyn - we get lots of birds in our garden and think it flows well with Kirkwood.
  • Summer - we married in Summer/she's due in Summer.
  • Paige - not nature themed, we just like this one.
  • Adeline - again, not in with the theme but one of our daughter's friend's is called Adeline and we think it's very pretty so did't rule it out.
What are people's thought's? We don't want something too common (bit gutted Lily became so popular after we chose it!) but husband is against anything too unusual. Any opinions would be great!

Thank you :)

I love the name lily
if you want to avoid anything too popular I'd avoid Robyn. While the name itself isn't that overused, if you add up all the Robin Robyn Rory Ronnie's etc - there's so many of these type of names all in the the top 100 in classes together, they do merge into one a bit

Laurel ?

I like Fern and Robyn best.

other suggestions: Hazel, Laurel, Iris, Begonia (sounds odd at first but have a friend called this and is beautiful ), Wren, Holly, Bryony, Dahlia,

Bias because I have a Summer- love the name.
The other names I like are: Violet, Amber, Robyn
I personally hate Heather and find it frumpy
I also hate Paige and find it really chavvy sounding.

Hazel Kirkwood would be lovely
Heather
Holly
Wren
Amber

I was going to say Rowan (it’s a tree) but it might be too masculine?

I like Summer.

Rose, Daisy, Heather, Violet, Poppy, Daphne, Jasmine.

Google Jamie Oliver’s kids’ names Wink

I like Fern best from your list although if you were spelling it Robin I’d like that best, I just don’t like the Y for some reason. I also think Fern is the most naturey.
The others are pretty too, I am not a fan of Adeline myself because of another word it makes me think of but I won’t say it because I don’t want to spoil it for you!
My favourite girl nature name is Linnet.
